I had been in and out of the ICU at Glens Falls Hospital for a month, and my muscle tone was gone. I was in bad shape. My legs couldn’t support my body. I knew that my journey back to good health would only be beginning when I left the hospital. Choosing the right place to rehab was crucial, and my daughter and I set out to research my options. From the reviews, ratings and comments online, I decided on Granville Center—and from the moment I arrived I knew I made the right choice. The place was so clean, and everyone was all smiles. But when I went to the rehab gym and I saw the residents moving about, I got very emotional. One of the Physical Therapists saw how upset I was and came over to me. That can be you, she said. Work hard, and we’ll get you back on your feet. That’s all I needed: hope. The caring, compassionate, expert staff at Granville Center have done so much for me.

I had a massive stroke. I’m lucky to be alive. But I lost so much: the ability to walk, talk—to do just about anything. The worst thing was not being able to be with my kids. I needed a lot of help. Granville Center came to the rescue. Everyone there is extremely talented, but I have a special place in my heart for the therapists—physical, occupational, and speech. The hospital saved my life; Granville Center made it a life worth living. They taught me to walk and talk again, to eat a normal meal, to move around on my home. Most important of all, they got me back to my kids. A big shout-out to the entire Granville Center team.
